[Jacksonville.com's Most Popular Stories] The war in Iraq: Was it worth it? | Jacksonville.com: That is removing Saddam from the country and putting him on trial (and eventually death) for the crimes he commited against his people. I would hope, that if one day there was a terrible dictator in charge of this country, who killed opponets at whim and allowed his deranged sons to persue violence against the citizens that someone would step in and assist us in removing that particular threat to our safety.

[CNN Political Ticker] CNN Political Ticker: All politics, all the time Blog Archive ...: It's pretty funny when you hear criticisms from people like Dick Cheney who had what five deferments(?) so he wouldn't have to fight in Vietnam and he has the nerve to call other people afraid while he has no problem sending other people's children into combat. Dick, you and your buddies had your chance to run this country and you ran it into the ground, go and enjoy your "retirement" and go make some more money with Haliburton and go hunting with your buddies.

[POLITICO Top Stories] McCain goes neg on web - Jonathan Martin's Blog - Politico.com: (I found this to be a bit of a phoney moment for McCain, I mean I think we all agree he does) However, nobody was stating Romney would have a case to sue McCain, just that McCain using that quote in an ad is essentially endorsing the opinion. He was saying that in cases of libel (and this is not one) reprinting is enough to establish culpability.

[The Swamp] Public trusts Obama over GOP on health: The Swamp: Bart Stupak (D.-Mich.) told CNSNews.com that President Barack Obama told him in a telephone conversation that when he said in his Sept. 9 speech to a joint session of Congress that ”˜under our plan no federal dollars will be used to fund abortions’ he was not talking about the actual bill drafted in the House but about the president’s own health care plan””which has never been written.”

[CNN Political Ticker] CNN Political Ticker: All politics, all the time Blog Archive ...: A former top State Department official, Lawrence Wilkerson, told CNN last week that finding a "smoking gun" linking Iraq and the al Qaeda terrorist network became the main purpose of the "alternative" interrogation program the Bush administration authorized in 2002 — a program critics say amounted to the torture of prisoners in American custody.

[AlterNet.org] Rachel Maddow's Devastating Showdown with Tom Ridge: Comeuppance ...: Maddow: I think that is an eloquent argument, and I have to tell you, I think you making that ”¦ argument right now is why Republicans after the Bush and Cheney administration are not going to get back the country's trust on national security. To look back at that decision and say, we got it wrong but it was in good faith and not acknowledge the foregone conclusion that we are going to invade Iraq that pervaded every decision that was made about intelligence -- looking back at that decision-making process, it sounds like you're making the argument you would have made the same decision again.

[Sabbah Report] "You, Mr. Bush, are a bald-faced liar" | Sabbah Report: In August the President was told by his hand-picked Major Domo of intelligence Mike McConnell, a flinty, high-strung-looking, worrying-warrior who will always see more clouds than silver linings, that what "everybody thought" about Iran might be, in essence, crap.

And just as our current world has warmed, and our atmosphere has increased in moisture and CO2 since the glaciers began retreating 18,000 years ago, so the Carboniferous Ice Age witnessed brief periods of warming and CO2-enrichment.

[Hot Air » Top Picks] Hot Air » Blog Archive » Who are the uninsured, 2009 edition: Of particular interest is the citizenship/resident category.  Foreign-born residents comprise 12.3 million of the uninsured, with only 2.8 million of those naturalized citizens.  That leaves 9.5 million non-citizens in the count.  The Census Bureau refuses to categorize on their legal residency status, which means that legal and illegal immigrants get counted in this total.  Last year, estimates put the number of illegal aliens in this category as 5.6 million out of a total of 9.7 million.  Even if we attribute the entire 200K reduction in this category to illegal immigrants leaving the US (as opposed to legal immigrants leaving or illegal immigrants getting insured), it still leaves 5.4 million illegals as part of the overall uninsured number.
